Topic: Widget refreshing

I've mentioned this once before in regards to the Dash, but now I am experiencing the same issue on the Infocast. Is there some magic trick to actually get a current widget to update on the unit? I've pushed the refresh button what seems 100's of times (wait 10 minutes...) and have resorted to power cycling the unit, which is doing nothing as well.

I can't tell you how much this quickly blows the wind out of my sails. This is when using the bleeding edge firmware, if that makes a difference.

Re: Widget refreshing

It's not the firmware - it's a server-side thing.

Now that we use S3 to host the widgets, it takes some time to propagate them everywhere they need to be after upload. As we expand to more CDNs around the world, this might even get a little worse before it gets better.

We're trying to shorten that time, or find some other strategy to feed recently updated widgets, but you're right - it's pretty painful at the moment for developers that are doing frequent updates.
